WASHINGTON CITY, Nov. 22.-The fish
cries commission held its first meeting Mon
day. The handsome diplomatic reception
room at the state department had been pre-
pared for them by the addition OF a bounti-
full supply of stationery, and the removal Of
unnecessary furniture. Around the heavy
mahogany table six chairs were in readiness
for the British and American representa-
tives, the seat of honor being reserved for
Mr.. Chamberlain upon one side and Mr..
Bayard upon the other.
At noon the British representatives were
shown to the council chamber, where Messrs.
Angel and Putnam awaited them The
room adjoins the office of Secretary Bayard,
and he promptly joined the party. The meet
ing was simply to arrange prelminaries
When the conferees were assembled the
doors were all closed and guarded, and the
distinguished six proceeded with all possible
precautions for secresy and freedom from in
trusion The first formal meeting will be
held Tuesday at 2 p. m No stenographer
will be employed, but Mr.. Bergne will act as
secretary for the British conferees and Third
Assistant Secretary of State Moore as secre-
tary for the American representatives As
formal agreements are from time to time
reached they will be reduced to writ
ing, but otherwise no formal record of
the proceedings will be kept No
organization by the election of a chairman
or otherwise has been or is likely to be made.
The proceedings will consist simply of in
formal discussion, in which the views of each
gentleman as advanced will be considered. A
brief protocol or memoranda Of any formal
agreements will be kept and signed at the
close of each days conference
At the meeting Monday the commissioners
voted to keep the proceedings entirely secret
1t is quite probable that this action will pre-
vent the secretaries from making public even
the memoranda of the formal agreements
reached from time to time.

that they were suffering from leprosy and

to the health officers of this city, who
secluded them.

to keep the secret of her disease by DR.. Van
Harrington During all Of this time Mrs
Nierson occupied the same sleeping apart

learned that her sister was being treated by
a physician she inquired what her ailment
was, but Mrs Miranda merely replied: "Only

Mrs Nierson learned that DR.. Van Har-
lingen was her sisters physician and she Wis
tied him, but he refused to tell her what allied

bosom Mrs Mirande continued to live at
Mrs. Nierson's home, while Anita, her daugh-
ter who is also covered with the marks Of
leprosy, attended school and played with the
